AUDIOSLAVE Singer Thrilled To Be Part Of Movie History

August 16, 2006

Launch Radio Networks reports: When AUDIOSLAVE vocalist Chris Cornell is heard singing the theme song for the new James Bond movie this November, he'll be joining a list of performers that includes legends like Tom Jones as well as questionable choices such as A-HA. But Cornell told Launch he's thrilled to be a part of movie music history. "Paul McCartney's in there, Tom Jones is in there, which I'm — people might not know this, but I'm a huge Tom Jones fan. I think he's amazing singer," he said. "I had never heard his version of 'Thunderball' until recently. I'm sure I did when I was a kid, but it was 1965 so I was one. But it's great, you know, it's great being part of something like that, historically."

Cornell's Bond theme, "You Know My Name", will appear in "Casino Royale", which will introduce Daniel Craig as the sixth actor to play the British agent. "Casino Royale" opens on November 17.

AUDIOSLAVE's third album, "Revelations", is due out on September 5.

Cornell intends to hit the studio at the end of the summer to begin recording his second solo album.
